[QUOTE="Mwak73, post: 550058, member: 13334"] Ha ha, I do sense a smidging of sarcasm in there.😁 But you know.... It doesn't make an ounce of difference, to the truth of things, to take it to the extreme like that, and take the piss. Because what I've said.... From my own viewpoint....is spot on. What a truly awful thing to want to aspire to be...... An "influencer" .🤔. Child or adult. It's code for "look at me, everyone..... I'm important, and I change lives. Hey.... You aren't looking!". It's all about ego now, and feeding it. What the hell kind of kid, would even have the thought of being an "influencer" (God, it's hard to even say that word.... It's along the lines of f***ing "life coach". So far up it's own arse, in self importance, it has to bend over to smile. Childhood should be about nothing. Nothing at all. No concerns for the future. Not thoughts of being an internet star. No thoughts of tik bastard tok. Nothing. Except getting out there into the world, getting dirty, and having FUN. None of what I've said, previously even gets near to being "in my day, this was all fields, and we worked down't pit for fotty hours a day". And frankly, its bloody ignorant.... And highly insulting.... To suggest it was. It WAS a hard life. Certainly personally. But God, we made the best of it, smiled, breathed the air and had adventures and fun, despite all the crap, at home. Childhood nowadays is empty. Online and empty. So what if they can go online, brag on Facebook that they just topped their own personal best score on call of duty. And then switch it off at 2am, to eventually fall asleep, and dream of perhaps one day, growing up to become an influencer, on YouTube, and then make videos, to show everyone just exactly how good at video games they are. If that's living, then whoever wants it, is very welcome to it. My very best wishes, to them, so they can achieve their goals and dreams. [/QUOTE]
